      Then he's a pretty stand-up guy, because motion controls are great when applied well. The problem is that most Wii games were developed to make a cheap buck off suckers, so the developers didn't give enough of a shit to bother figuring out how the console's basic functions work.

    I have a theory that the courses in this game weren't able to be finished in time. So they closed off all the paths they were gonna make with walls and locked doors. Problem is they forgot to take out the flowers indicating the alternate paths in their rush to get the game out. My condolences go to the possible overworked and underpaid programmers that must've been rushed to get the game out.

    I think you could debate Normal difficulty 50CC Action Girlz Racing is harder than 200CC Mariokart.

    12:22 that girl used Jeff as a ramp and gave him brain damage.

    Every time they said "Alex", I get happy for some reason. I don't know what it is about hearing your name on a video, even if they aren't directly talking to you, it's still a cool feeling.

    Yo I would totally be down to watch a speedrun of this game. I mean, it's interesting enough by itself, but to see a speedrun would increase it's awesomeness by like 2 million percent

    The first race took ten minutes. Ten. Minutes.
    You know you've made a good racing game when it takes ten minutes for the first race.

    I actually timed the mirror power-up here. When Jeff used it with just x1, it lasted 2 seconds. When Austin used it at "MAX", it lasted 3 seconds.
    GAME SUCKS.

    Wow Jeff, this game really drove you crazy. Oh but you guys should try the Hello Kitty game. It's actually not that bad if you can get passed the AI (which you will) literally getting stuck on every wall or going backwards on the coarse.

    I wonder what the game is like in the high 100cc and 150cc.

    • @keenansullivan2380

      You and your opponents go faster and respawns happen less frequently. In 150cc, your kart feels like it's perpetually boosting (While still having the same horrible steering). Of all the things the game doesn't bother with, it does actually get harder on those settings. I know this because I have a 100% completion on the damn thing.
